PAGE 41

P1: We see the sun rising. The night has passed.

P2: Big panel. The FHTC has shown up at the colosseum. They wander around the debris.

P3: We see Sarah’s hand, picking up a dented suppressor cuff from the rubble.

P4: She looks at it and frowns.

P1: Sarah turns back to address Penwood.

Sarah: We can’t keep acting like there isn’t a leak.

Look, it’s a suppressor cuff.

And I’ve seen scrap metal from the guns lying around, too.

P2: Penwood sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.

Penwood: Still don’t have the funds or the time to scour the entire FHTC for a relatively harmless distributor, Chu.

P3: Sarah gestures at the rubble of the colosseum, angry.

Sarah: ‘Relatively harmless’?! It’s a Gladiator Ring, Penwood!

P4: Heele and his guards are sitting in a heap in a corner, handcuffed and resigned.

Sarah: I’m not okay with my tech being used for such unethical things!

P5: Sarah glares off to the side.

Sarah: To be totally honest, I’m glad Talent de Lune took this place down.

P1: Penwood grimaces and rests a hand on Sarah’s shoulder.

Penwood (whisper): Quiet down. They give us a lot of slack but you’re pushing it.

P2: Sarah frowns, but doesn’t argue.

P3: Penwood sits down on some rubble. Sarah looks over at him.

Penwood: And anyway...that’s a pretty naive way of looking at it.

Can you really call this place unethical compared to us?

P4: Sarah sits as well, a bit confused.

Sarah: In our current state? Of course I can.

P5: Penwood sighs and looks off into the distance.

Penwood: I think you view the FHTC too highly. Even if we’ve changed.

P6: Sarah frowns, thoughtful.

Sarah: ...

P1: Penwood glances at Miriam and calls to her.

Penwood: What do you think, Miriam?

P2: She smiles faintly, and a bit ominously, back at him.

Miriam: I just do my job, Dan.

P3: We zoom out as the FHTC picks over the pile of rubble.

Miriam: ...I just do my job.
